    Unhappy Help: Can't Work Out

    Hey everybody, I have a couple of questions. I've got tendonitis in my L arm that is at the point now I can't even lift a 10lb weight. So I need to take at least 2 weeks off. But I have some questions about my supplements and diet then:

    1. Should I still be eating 1-1.5g of protein per lb of bw a day?
    2. Should I still be taking glutamine?
    3. I'm finishing up a 1-ad cycle, (700 MG a day) Do I just stop that, and do I need to take 6 oxy?
    4. I'm taking Swole V2, Do I stop taking that?
    5. How do I keep my muscle during this time off.
    6. I've been bulking, should I use some of this time to do some cardio and get rid of some of the BF I've put on.
    7. Since I was trying to bulk, my calories were around 3,000 a day, should I cut that down to a maintenance figure?

    This just sucks so much. I've been doing GoPro's workout and getting really good results from it. Anybody that can help would really be appreciated!
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

    If you dont maintain the protein you will lose some of the muscle, but you may want to curtail calories in other areas, maybe 200-400?

    I would think taking glutamine would be very important when not trainng since it helps to prevent muscle breakdown.

    blood stream.

    So keep the protein and glutamine, drop some carbs? Thinking of doing TP's carb cycling now since I'm not lifting, that'll keep protein up but may help with the carbs some.

    Sorry to hear this Rock. That does suck... big time. Definitely do the 6-OXO cycle to jump start your natural test production.

    I'm curious. Have you had problems with tendonitis before? I ask because I am doing a 1-AD cycle also and started having some shoulder tendonitis. It seemed to correspond with the strength burst I've gained while on the 1-AD. It occured to me that although my muscles are stronger, maybe this quick jump in strength was too much for my ligaments and tendons. Right now it is just a nuisance, but I'm a bit worried it will get worse.

    Yeah, I had problems before. But this time I had been working out for quite a while with no problems.
